Civil Rights Day

About This Program

Held on or around February 1, the anniversary of the Woolworth’s lunch counter student sit-in in 1960, this all-day event examines some of the major civil rights issues of today that continue to challenge activists, and policymakers, with a particular focus on contemporary movements working around an array of civil rights issues in the hopes of getting students involved in local campaigns.
